Attention All Pork Lovers:

The goal of ISU Bacon Expo’s eduction team is to educate event goers about where their bacon comes from. This team works all year long in creating interactive booths that will be scattered throughout the event floor for bacon enthuisiasts to participate in.

This year’s booths include:

Gate to Plate

An interactive exhibit explaining modern day swine production

Meat in a Minute

A booth where event goers participate in a game while learning about different cuts of pork…including BACON

Snout to Tail

A stop on the floor that allows baconeers to learn about ALL of the cool things that we get from pigs​

Piglet Pen

A fenced off area of Bacon Expo meant for our youngest attendees. Kid/toddler friendly activites are offered here including coloring, balloon pig sorting, face painting and MUCH more​

The Trough
